<p>For class III and IV, a decked boat isn't really necessary. Roger Fletcher's book has designs used by the early runners of the Middle Fork Salmon using double enders....and even the Rapid Robert. Roger's book has off sets for a small double ender that might serve your purchase. Mark Stuberr, this site, built a decked play boat called IRH. I've seen pictures of a decked Butler Boat pea pod design.</p>

<p>Open dory designs have been decked for whitewater .... but as the boat get smaller, the additional weight and placement of the weight might have negative consequences for boat handling in rough water.</p>

<p>Sandy Pittendrigh's dayak could be build with plywood and traditional decked boat framing. It looks like it would make an interesting hard shell rowed play boat.</p> I agree, but that would requi…tag:woodenboatpeople.org,2018-06-06:1312281:Comment:1519422018-06-06T15:14:13.862ZBennett Yarbroughhttp://woodenboatpeople.org/profile/BennettYarbrough
<p>I agree, but that would require both epoxy and epoxy work. I'm thinking yellow pine frames and deck screw fasteners. Basically a boat that I cant be too sad about destroying on boney class III/IV water.</p>

<p>I would do it stitch and glue,much easier and lighter.I took the plans from Jasons skiff and shortened it.It ended up around 130 lbs.</p>

<p>Well I get that theyre small and impractical but thats kinda the point. The pictures of the tatman one show it with 5 frames and one middle seat. I'm thinking I may call the new/original owner and see if I can get measurements from him. If not I may just play with some 1/8" mdf and try some stem angles until I get it right, then measure for the frames from that. Think of a kayak style drift boat decked with a little rower hole that will get smashed hard. The only bad thing I can think…</p>

<p>Ha! You officially have the bug, first boats not done and already planning #2.</p>
<p>My .02, 12X48 is a very small impractical drift boat. by the time you bend into shape you have very little of the bottom that is even close to 48" wide. You would be better off with a 48" wide pram. I think 14X48 is as small as you would want to go with the drift boat shape even those are pretty small.</p>
